Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar after 15000 ODI runs: Why the gap between them is more complex than it looks

During a successful run chase against the West Indies, Virat Kohli surpassed fifteen thousand career runs in one-day internationals and notched his fifty-fifth century in the format. He achieved this milestone significantly faster than Sachin Tendulkar did historically, requiring seventy-four fewer innings to reach the same threshold.

Kohli maintains a higher overall batting average, a greater frequency of scoring centuries, and a superior rate of producing scores of fifty or more compared to Tendulkar's milestone markers. While Kohli has benefited from a higher percentage of unbeaten innings, his raw output per batting opportunity remains considerably larger.
